Pleasant surprise! I guess it shouldn't be, Eastie is chock full of the best Latin food in the city, but ceviche is something most of the city can't seem to pull off and Rincon does it with flair. The place is pretty low-key, but it definitely got packed on a Friday night. It makes sense - the place is high quality, reasonably priced and, honestly, everyone loves Peruvian food. As good as the ceviche was, the highlight was the lamb stew (seco de cabrito), which may have been the best lamb dish I've had in the city, no joke. Pisco sour was a bit sweet for me. Gotta complain about something, right? read more

Cute small spot so close to the airport. Swung by to eat before our flight. Customer service was great. Everyone was friendly. You can feel the warmth of our Hispanic people. Server was quick to take our order and walk us through our questions. We ordered a jalea mixta to share. It was fresh, delicious and a good size. Def very authentic Peruvian. Def will be coming back here again. read more

Pescado a lo Macho (8/10): the sauce was AMAZING. Fish, calamari, mussels were all cooked very well. I honestly would have given this a 9/10, but I did get a piece of sand in one bite. Ceviche tropical (7.5/10): very good. I liked the plantain chips as well Ceviche mixto (7.5/10): solid ceviche Arroz con Mariscos (6/10): pretty average as far as paellas go. Not too memorable, but not bad either. Mostly just rice. Also could use more socarrat. Lomo saltado (9/10): the steak was SUPER tender. The red onion and tomatoes were cooked well. Fries were decent as well Rincon Limeño is the best Peruvian food I've had in new england. I think it is significantly better than Celeste in Somerville and Los Andes in Providence. The service was also fantastic. We came 30 minutes before closing, but they were still so kind and didn't rush us at all. read more

Rincon Limeño - Ceviche mixto - Latin American Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This is a neighborhood favorite for us, and I wish I knew about it earlier. The vibe inside is very festive and energetic, and the service is really warm and friendly. Here are a few of the dishes that we've gotten over the last few visits: - Ceviche Mixto: great mix of seafood (white fish, calamari, and shrimp) and you can tune the amount of heat. The corn adds a nice chewy texture and is a nice contrast when the acidity might get a bit too much. - Jalea de Mariscos: crisply and well seasoned, there's something here for everyone because it's a combination of fried white fish, calamari, shrimp, and yucca. - Tallarines Verdes: pasta with a pesto made from questo blanco/fresco and spinach and basil, served with a steak on top. The steak is thin, so don't be expecting a specific temperature/cook on it, but it's super flavorful and juicy. The drinks are balanced and really tasty and refreshing, our favorites are the pisco sour, pisco mule, and anything with chicha! read more

Don't let the place's exterior fool you: it's actually spacious and clean, has a backyard, and the staff is very friendly. The food portions are generous and--naturally--packed with diverse flavors, textures, and great seasoning (including the vegetarian dishes). In my opinion, the one thing I'd change is the way they "restrict" the salsas; at first, they only give you two small containers. Sure, you can ask for more, but it's still rationed, and eventually, asking for extra starts to feel like a hassle. read more

Delicious Peruvian food with friendly service in a welcoming atmosphere! I wanted to try this restaurant when I saw pictures of their ceviche and I was not disappointed. The Ceviche Mixto was so fresh with a generous amount of seafood. The shrimp, fish, squid and calamari were very tender and served with corn, lettuce and sweet potato. I also had the Ajisito de Gallina. Shredded chicken in a creamy mildly spicy cheesy sauce served over a boiled potato. Yum! read more

Rincon Limeño truly tasted like authentic Peruvian food . I ordered the seco, and from the very first bite it reminded me of my grandma's cooking. It honestly felt like I was back in Peru, sitting in my mamita's kitchen enjoying a homemade meal. The service was excellent and our server was so attentive and kind throughout our visit. My fiancée absolutely loved the food too and already said that whenever we are back in Boston, this is the place we have to come to. If you're looking for real, comforting Peruvian flavors and a great dining experience, I highly recommend this spot!!! read more

Amazing, delicious, and authentic meal. Ceviche Mixto was the best I've had in Boston, and better value than others.

The best Peruvian restaurant by far in the Boston area. The menu is fantastic but am completely blown away by the ceviche and tacu-tacu. A lively place to grab a Pisco sour whilst catching a soccer game. The staff is friendly and welcoming - a little slice of Lima in East Boston! read more

Normally I love everything here, but on "Mother's Day" my husband treated me to the fried red snapper. There was literally no succulent meat on it. I got 2 moist bites by the tail but everywhere else was dry as a bone. Way overdone and all for $40. Rip off. Live and learn, I DO NOT RECCOMEND! I properly should have said something, but I didn't want to ruin the vibe too...I gave 2 stars for the good meals I have had there. read more

We're still thinking about this meal. DELICIOUS! This place has our Peruvian native's stamp of approval. Quantity and quality. The fried seafood with ceviche is a MUST. And the Tacu Tacu was amazing -- we dare you to try it and see how much rice & beans can surprise you! Our friend also had us try papas a la huancaina -- potatoes in this spicy cheese sauce. So much flavor. It's so worth the visit! Ordered: Papas a la Huancaina (not pictured), Tacu Tacu, Chaufa, and Clasico Rincon Limeno (fried seafood + ceviche) read more

This is my spot in Boston when I'm craving a decent ceviche! Service is great and the ambiance is nice. Four stars because the other dishes are not as good. They're tasty, but don't have the Peruvian sazón. read more

Best Peruvian food I've tried north of New Jersey!! My parents were in town so I brought them here based on a friend's recommendation. We're Peruvian so our expectations were high and the food delivered! Starting off with the jugo de maracuya which tasted fresh and homemade, not from a powder. Then the caldo de gallina which had real hen in it, and the arroz con mariscos tasted super fresh with the right texture for the rice. My dad also loved his lomo saltado. The indoor area is a little dark so recommend eating on the outdoor porch if the weather allows. Buenazooo read more

Very lively and cozy atmosphere! Waiters were all very nice and friendly, also greeted us in Spanish by default so u know its authentic :) The ceviche fish has nice citrus flavor, and it was a large portion of fish! The sweet potato and crunchy corn that came with it also added good variety in flavors. The texture of the fish was a bit chewy at times but overall still good! The mini bandeja was also good, the rice was infused w some rly good savory flavor and the thin steak was so perfectly done and had a nice smoky and yummy flavor. The pork, beans, and egg were solid too. Salad had nice sour flavor to contrast the rest! The arroz con mariscos was sooo good. So packed w flavor and also w lots of squid and shrimp. It was not mostly just rice like many other restaurants are. Made sure to eat each and every last grain of rice :) In summary, some food was better than others but was still a great experience overall! And enjoyed the variety and flavors and large portions (we had lunch the next day too) read more

The ceviche is excellent, tasted very orangey, which was a nice change. Decent good portions, wonderful ambience, attentive staff.

I've never tried Peruvian cuisine and I'm so glad I chose Rincon Limeño to be the first. Once you step in, you're immediately greeted with the friendliest smiles and the most welcoming hospitality. The staff makes amazing recommendation and the food that we tried were ALL delicious and the drinks were super fun. The atmosphere is fire. If you want to have a good time with your date or friends / family, this is the place to choose! read more

Have heard sooo many good things about this place! I think this was my first time into east Boston. There are some sideways street parking right in front of the place but I'm sure there are parking around the area on the streets My bf and I came on Friday night and it wasn't busy at all. We walked in and our waitress was super nice and I took her advice on ordering the tacu tacu maricos because I love seafood. My boyfriend got the one with chicken. We both loved the flavor and the portions are actually very filling The only thing why it's 4 stars is because I can't really give it a 3.5. Pricing really caught us off guard because with 2 entrees, an order of app of empanada, and a drink. It came out to be $100 after tax. That's the only downside because it's not much of an upscale restaurant or anything. Other than that, I would 100% recommend and come back read more

Flavors - 4.4/5 Textures - 4.5/5 Presentation - 4/5 Value for Money - 4/5 Would return? Yes Must-try: Chupe de Camarones If you are hispanic this restaurant will make you feel at home ... from the service to the food, I loved every minute of it. Here is what I had: Chupe de Camarones: so tasty, savory and comforting. The shrimps were perfectly cooked, although I wish the tails were removed. It comes with a huge pile of very delicious rice. I want this all winter. The ceviche was very well balanced with a strong but not aggressive level of acid, and all seafood was firm and fresh. If you like fried seafood, you might want to get the ceviche mixto with Jalea (mix battered fried seafood), since the jalea was crispy and well cooked. I got to try the lamb with rice and beans, and the Arroz Chaufa (seafood rice) as well, both delicious and generous quantities. read more

Rincon Limeno Restaurant is a Peruvian Restaurant located at 409 Chelsea Street in East Boston. There is but a few parking spots directly in front of the restaurants, otherwise, you can find parking on side streets nearby. My family came during the summer after taking the kids to Noddle Island and was able to enjoy the patio seating outside. The weather was gorgeous and we received great customer service that day. Our waitress did not speak much English but we both tried very hard to make it work. It was a struggle but we finally got our orders in. Our food came out at a good pace. The chef, I assume, helped buss some of the food out. When it came to the fries and sausages for my kids, he was animated when he came out to present them with his creation. I believe I ordered this from the kids menu so I assumed he came out to greet the children. You can tell he was proud of his creation down to the kids menu. The classico rincon limeno is a must try! You have a seafood ceviche served in a wine glass, and beneath it on a plate, is fried battered seafood and a red onion and tomato slaw. Next time, I am not sharing. Get this paired with your favorite drink and sit out in the back patio under the umbrella table with comfy patio seating chairs. As for the two meat dishes that we ordered, the meats were on the chewy side. I would skip the bandeja. The flan was good but pricy and lacked in presentation. They recently opened another restaurant in Revere closer to me so now I can get their ceviche whenever I want. Still, I prefer the patio seating available at their East Boston location. See my pictures. read more

My friends suggested to check out this Peruvian restaurant so we made sure to come on a Saturday around noon. It was a beautiful day so we opted for their outdoor seating. We shared their fried calamari and yuka fries served with a side of chopped up tomatoes. A simple batter over fresh seafood was exactly what we wanted. The freshness of the tomatoes balanced the fried aspect of the dish. For entrees, my friends ordered the fried red snapper, steak served over friends fries while I had the creamy sauce with chicken. Unfortunately their names escape me but with how satisfied we were with each of our dishes, I feel like you couldn't go wrong. The fish was cooked to perfection and a massive portion enough for a minimum of two people. Steak fries were well seasoned with a few slices of sautéed onions for extra crunch. I enjoyed my flavorful creamy chicken served over a little bit of lettuce. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. I saw one of their soups on our way out and I just knew I have to come back. Cannot wait until then. Highly recommend! read more

They have an indoor and outdoor space. I absolutely love the outdoors. It's cozy and great for romantic events. I became a massive fan of Peruvian food when my friend introduced me to it in California. I accidentally found this just googling authentic Peruvian restaurants and it popped up. I read the reviews and it seemed ok. I finally decided to come and try it. Let me tell you... it is absolutely frikkin amazing!!!! The green spaghetti (that's how I compartmentalize the name lol) is to die for. I love pesto, basil and spaghetti and if you mix it all together?!? Im sold!!! TIP: IF YOU LIKE SPICY, ASK FOR THE GREEN SAUCE. I LOVE THE GREEN SAUCE (Aji Verde). You can use Aji Verde with anything! If you're new to Peruvian food, always start with Lomo Saltado. It's an easy start. But Peruvian's know how to make food taste delicious. read more

This is my first time trying Peruvian food and I love it! The restaurant is popular and always have a full house. It's a bit small and because there's not a lot of windows it was hot inside. The employees were nice and friendly, they got us seated quickly after a table became available. I got the piscado frito and it comes with a bean soup? Im not familiar with the bean soup but it's like a more liquidy version of frijoles. It was really good with the fish and fried yucca. I dipped my fish in it and mixed the beans w the rice. The fish was evenly crisp but by itself it's not seasoned enough for me which is why I devoured the beans with it. The seco de cabrito is lamb in bean sauce. I liked it because it has a good kick in it. It's not really spicy, but it was hot if that makes sense. The lamb itself was tender, just wished I had more! In the end we got flan with whip cream and chocolate sauce. It was so smooth and creamy! Overall, my friends say the other dishes were yum! read more

I enjoyed my time at Rincon Limeno, the service was very friendly and inviting despite a minor language barrier, and there were lots of different groups of people in the restaurant--families, friends, couples. The prices may seem slightly high, but the portion sizes are quite massive. The taste was a tad bland to me, but not more than the other far more high end options. Of the Peruvian restaurants I've tried in the area, I'd most likely come back to Rincon Limeno. read more

Good spot for Peruvian food close to the airport. Got the ceviche, chaufa with chicken, and the carne asada. I also got chicken empanadas, the dough was slightly sweet, but the filling was delish. Chaufa was very good; I liked the hints of ginger in the dish. Ceviche and carne asada were pretty good as well. Overall very good experience. read more

No Peruvian taste... Got the lamb and tacu. No aspect to order sides of aji Amarillo. The lamb didn't taste like anything except lamb ... no Peruvian flavor, no cilantro, no spice.... No brightness from aji Amarillo. Sadly disappointing for Peruvian . Honestly unless they are dumbing down the flavor for an east coast palate I have no idea how Peruvian food could be this bland... BLAND read more

Our first stop in Boston was to Rincon Limeno where my wife and I ordered the tapa ceviche mixto, pescado a lo macho, and a pisco sour. The food was delicious.

Delicious, authentic no frills Peruvian.Cerviche marisco was outstanding. Pisco sour pretty good too!

Place was easy to find! There's some parking but not a lot so if possible, I'd recommend taking public transportation. The restaurant itself is very clean and inviting. The staff are attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. My friend and I both got the Lomo Saltado. It was her first time having Peruvian food and she said her life has been ~changed~. #missionaccomplished It was a very quick dinner so we weren't able to order much but man, I need to try the aji de gallina next time!! read more

We came on a Sunday night and it was really busy. My friend and I ordered 2 pisco sours, a ceviche, a chicken dish, and a fried snapper. The drinks were good, not too sweet. The ceviche was just okay, but maybe getting ceviche on a Sunday night wasn't the best move in terms of freshness. The chicken dish was really good, but the fried red snapper stole the show. The red snapper was $40 and was twice the size of my face. I've never seen a snapper this big in my life. When I ordered it, the waitress double-checked if I was sure that I wanted it because it was a huge portion. I was confused because I normally have no issues finishing an entire snapper myself, but this was truly family-sized. Took me 3 meals to finish it. Service was great. They constantly came by to check on our waters and to bring more limes and napkins. It definitely helps if you speak some Spanish though. Definitely give this place a try! read more

I didn't take pictures of anything, we had just landed, gotten to our hotel in Chelsea and were starving. They were pretty empty with only one table occupied when we walked in. We do not speak Spanish and it seemed that was the primary language of most the people working there which makes sense given the type of cuisine. However it made asking questions a little difficult. I got a chicken plate that came with a lot of chicken, rice, salad, and fries. There was no sauce for it, no dressing on the salad, and no salt on the fries (which is how I prefer my fries). It was okay, nothing was extraordinary but it was food and it was edible. You definitely get a lot of food on the plate. The server was extremely attentive and kept checking to make sure we were okay and if everything was okay. read more

Mi restaurante peruano favorito. Me encanta el lomo saltado, tallarin verde, papa a la huancaina y los alfajores son espectacular

The food in the Revere location is excellent. I come almost every Sunday. The service is courteous and friendly. The only thing that I would recommend the owner is to tell the servers that noisy music with a very high upbeat should not be allowed. Typically I would go here to eat and have a conversation with my family. The music in the background is always appreciated but it is not pleasant when the workers select the music to make their jobs as a dancing party. The other day I felt like the music was very disruptive to eat my food. I could not even be heard and had to raise my voice to be heard by my family. read more

This area is full of hidden gems. With rents on the rise. Your cuisine must be on point to survive. The place is quaint and service is pretty quick, service and food are speedy. Nothing extraordinary about the service. The food while having an authentic taste, offered some variations to the common. Tried the Tallerin Verde-(Basil Pasta with steak) Flavorful and you could feel the pesto in the sauce. The meat was a little dry and I wasn't asked the temperature I prefer. The second dish was the Tallerin A la Huancaina with Lomo. New Spin on a classic dish. The lomo meat was more flavorful but too well cooked for my taste. read more
